Some of my selfbows

[calebflies]

Anyone else on here shoot or make selfbows? Here’s some of my recent works, typically like Osage but really enjoying pacific yew lately

Beautiful work. I’ve only completed one from a red oak board. I had some trouble with the tillering, but fairly pleased with it for my first attempt. I’m slowly working on a hickory bow now from a tree I harvested locally.

nice work!

I've always wanted to make one. I have a Yew stave drying going on 21 years...

Those bows are awesome. This winter I’m going to make a board bow and try to hunt primitive next season.

Very nice work thanks for posting

I’ve made some myself. Osage is nice but I prefer hickory because it’s way more plentiful, easy to find trees that produce a great 72” stave and I can strip the bark immediately and get it drying. I’ve been away from making bows for a couple years but hope to pick it back up this winter.
